Monosyllables May Serve Poem by Ananta Madhavan
Monosyllables May Serve
The more you do,
The less is done.
Go, went, gone
Do, din, down
Hip, hop, hope
Write, hype, tripe
Poem, prim, prime
Rome, ram, rhyme
Try, travail, trivia
Live, love, leave

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Learning English is a lifelong vocation. Words are fascinating
both in signifying things, and ideas; also in the syllables that
are associated with them, as rhymes, even as nonsense. Someone said,
'Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves'.
In English poetics, they have a section called 'heroic couplet'. I am trying out the monosyllabic form I shall call 'cowardly couplet'. AM
